In related news, there’s also confirmation that Sascha Dikiciyan (Mass Effect 3) has been welcomed aboard to score Mankind Divided, working in tandem with Michael McCann of Human Revolution. Drawing attention to the studio’s desire to produce a compelling soundtrack, Eidos’ Executive Audio Director Steve Szczepkowsk noted that:
“It was important for us to build upon the strong foundation of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but also to let it stand on its own. Along the way, we realised this game was much vaster than anticipated and we made the choice to add another composer to the team. Sascha Dikiciyan’s music stood out.”
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will hit PS4, Xbox One and PC on August 23.
